Hello to all, this is my first post having just joined the forum.
I should start by saying I am really pleased to found such a helpful and valuable source of information and I'm looking through all the topics.
I've owned a 1984 Turbo esprit since 1987 and am now " recommissioning" the car after 17 years in storage. Prior to storage it was used regularly. My plan is to do whats needed, get it mot'ed and drive it. By whats needed I mean make it safe and not catch fire. I say that since a long time ago I lost my eyebrows and my Eclat to a fire☹️.
New cambelt and tensioner, rebuilt calipers so far. Waterpump was new just before storage and doesnt leak. Carb rebuild kit bought from classic carbs on ebay, are they ok?
I'd be really interested if anyone else has "recommissioned" a Turbo after this length of time and what needs a good looking at. It was all ok.
Specifically can I have a good look at the fuel lines or should I replace all? Do the tanks and outlets rust /corrode?
The water hoses and clips look ok, dont leak, but again they are 36 years old.
All ideas appreciated. Thank you.
